John Lewis Tv Advert

We watched this advert in class and I personally think that it's one of the best adverts of the year! The advert shows a boy and a girl from two different worlds and their story of love. Looking at the world from the point of view of a woman living in 1925 and a man living in the present day lets us see the world from a new perspective. As most of the advert is edited to be in split screen, we are able to see the two characters carrying out the same daily activities but as though they're in a different time because all of the clothes, buildings, cars etc are like they were in the 1920's. It is also filmed as if the two characters can see and touch each other even though they can't. However, it may also be filmed from the perspective that the characters can actually see and touch each other and maybe it's just as though they're from different worlds.
